I listened to some of your tracks. They are solid, well put together. Good vocal, lyrics and musicianship.
2 things:
Lots of contemporary music shifts dynamics as the song goes on. For example, from one verse to the next, the music might be being played with an acoustic guitar and congos instead of an electric guitar and drums. Then later it would shift back. This is just one example. Listen to some Fall out Boy,H.I.M. or 3 doors down, my chemical romance or bands like that to get ideas about shifting dynamics. Having the song change up at significant spots creates strong dynamics. Some producer with oodles of experience knows how to keep it sounding fresh and exciting as the song plays out. Go listen to a bunch of radio music, not macjams music. Understand and listen closely to how the sounds and dynamics change as progession plays.
Then, mastering your track with some software like channel strip for mac ($89) adds a nice final polish
As far as finding your own 'sweet spot' find an artist you really like, learn some of their songs, create songs similar to what you like....mostly though...practice, practice, practice.
Some pop, rock is simple because it's got some super guitar hooks or vocal phrase that the listener latches on to. something like Whitestripes or Greenday does.
All in all, you are putting out real nice music. it just sounds less than something produced and recorded by pros for reasons I mentioned. you seem creative and sound like your having fun.
No one can find the sound you're looking for except you.
I listen to lot of Derek Trucks, he inspires me tremendously. I like John Mayer and Jonny Lang too. Sort of blues/r&b-ish good vocal with cool guitar parts.
I can play a guitar progression a 1000 times before I record it. Over the course of several month sometimes. Like some snakey, sizzly cool SRV guitar. Nailing the performance when recording the guitar part or whatever instrument you play goes a long way to attracting the listener.
